About this property
The Elf Haus: Upscale A-Frame. Hot Tub. Dog Friendly. Elope. Close to Breck
The Elf Haus is thoughtfully outfitted with amenities to make your stay as comfortable and relaxing as possible. Whether you're seeking outdoor adventure or total relaxation, everything you need is here.
Step out onto the main deck and unwind in the private hot tub, where you’ll be surrounded by the forest canopy. It’s the perfect place to relax after a day of exploring—or to stargaze in total peace.
The gourmet kitchen is fully equipped with everything you need to prepare a heartfelt meal. The coffee bar is stocked with beans for drip coffee, espresso, and lattes. A spice cabinet and a selection of cooking oils help get you started, and a beverage fridge keeps your sparkling water, soda, wine, and beer chilled and ready.
There are two dedicated bedrooms and a finished basement with a queen-size Murphy bed. The main floor bedroom features a queen bed and beautiful views of the forest. The tranquil master bedroom upstairs includes a king bed and custom barn doors that frame a view through the A-frame, along with windows facing south and west toward the trees and mountains.
The Murphy bed in the basement is queen size (VRBO inaccurately lists it as a twin). Please let us know in advance if you plan to use it so we can have it ready for you.
The master bedroom has a full ensuite bath. A second full bathroom is located on the main floor, adjacent to the downstairs bedroom, and the basement includes a convenient half bath. All bathrooms are stocked with William Roam toiletries, hairdryers, plush towels, and cozy bathrobes for your use.
The hygge-inspired main living area brings the outdoors in, with expansive windows that offer forest views—moose, foxes, and even bears are sometimes spotted nearby. Enjoy a relaxed evening at the dining table with friends or family, or settle in by the wood-burning fireplace. A record player and Sonos speaker are provided, along with board games for a little friendly competition.
Upstairs, enjoy expansive views of the A-frame and a quiet reading nook—the perfect spot to curl up with a book or your favorite music. The four-season porch offers another serene space to unwind, surrounded by nature.
The finished basement features a large smart TV, a dedicated desk with a monitor (HDMI cable included), and a washer/dryer stocked with detergent and cleaning supplies.
Large walkout doors from the basement open to 2.5 acres of private, forested land. A peaceful trail awaits if you're in the mood for a quiet walk among the trees.
Styled in Mountain Modern decor with local Colorado art and cozy touches throughout, the Elf Haus was designed to help you relax, recharge, and enjoy your mountain escape to the fullest.

About the host
Hosted by Robert McFadzean

In 2021, we embarked on a journey when we acquired the elf haus, affectionately named after our cherished furry companion. originally a DIY project dating back to the 1970s, this A-frame demanded substantial restoration to transform it into a livable abode. the extensive renovation process has been a profound learning experience, enriching us with newfound skills and insights. each step of the way has been an adventure, and now, we're thrilled to open our doors and share our slice of paradise with you!
Why they chose this property
The Elf Haus is secluded, on 2.5 acres of wooded mountain land. We love the smell of fresh air, listening to the trees blowing in the wind, and the escape and relaxation we can sink right into while at the property. Fairplay is such a great community with many outdoor adventures to suit all tastes.
What makes this property unique
The Elf Haus is a newly renovated (completed in 2024) A-Frame. The decor is Mountain Modern and is built to ensure the most comfortable stay.
